Perhaps no other Caribbean nation celebrates its pirate legends and cultural heritage quite like the Cayman Islands, which erupts into a festival of spectacle and pageantry during our annual
Pirates Week in November.
Events include mock "invasions" of pirates, along with Heritage Days in each district, a series of parades, parties, costume contests, happy hours and much more, stretching across all three islands.
The festivities that take place in Grand Cayman this year will include a landing pageant, parade, food festival, street dance, a cardboard boat race, a children's fair, an underwater treasure hunt and more. But it all comes to an end a week later, when the locals reclaim the islands and the marauding pirates are "sentenced" during a pageant that is followed by fireworks, a night parade and a street celebration of food and dance.
Whether you are visiting Little Cayman, Cayman Brac or Grand Cayman for their individual Pirates Week celebrations, you are sure to have fun.
